GE Introduces New DPI 142 Precision Digital Barometric Indicator
New Fairfield, Connecticut, April 5, 2004 - GE Infrastructure Sensing, a leading provider of precision sensing products, systems and services, announced today the DPI 142 high precision barometric indicator.
The DPI 142 represents the latest developments in sensing and microprocessor technologies, including the company's resonant micro machined silicon sensor, contained within a highly compact bench or panel-mounting instrument. Extremely competitively priced and simple to use, the DPI 142 delivers a measurement precision/stability performance usually associated with premium cost laboratory reference standards.
The DPI 142 builds on 30 years of successful production of intelligent, user-friendly instruments to meet the varied and exacting needs of the industrial pressure measurement user in a diverse range of industries and applications. It is ideal for use as a general barometric reference or as a calibration/service laboratory standard. High accuracy and long term stability improve productivity and reduce cost of ownership.
"The DPI 142 is our next generation instrument for the high precision measurement of barometric and low absolute pressures," said Kermit Hoffman, president of GE Infrastructure Sensing-Americas. "Using our own proven sensing technology offers customers exceptional performance and unmatched value."
In addition to the standard full barometric range of 10.9 – 16.7 psia, low range absolute ranges cover 0.5 up to 50 psia and precision is typically 0.01% full scale. This includes the combined effects of non-linearity, hysteresis, repeatability and temperature effects 10° to 40° C. Long term stability is better than 100 ppm full scale per year.
The high-contrast, backlit LCD offers a full six digit scaling with choice of 24 user selectable pressure units including altitude in feet/meters for altimetry applications. User interface is by means of a simplified, menu-driven keypad and standard RS232 (SCPI protocol) communications; also IEEE488/analogue options. The DPI 142 is very compact (7.3" wide x 7.7" deep x 3" high), which makes it ideal for portable/benchtop use or alternatively for system integration by panel mounting using a standard kit option.
